"Pay what you wish" at Carolina Raptor Center on Juneteenth

Carolina Raptor Center, 6000 Sample Rd, Huntersville, within Latta Nature Center and Preserve, rehabilitates injured birds of prey, and educates the public about them.

You can see eagles, owls, vultures, hawks and falcons on the Raptor Trail. There are also a number of flight shows, raptor encounters and presentations.
